Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, we bring to Your Eminence’s attention (may Allah have mercy on you) that in the city of Riyadh there are places called “amusements,” and this is a great evil; for the name fits the reality, as they distract from the obedience of Allah, they waste religion, and may Allah protect us from that. And so on.
Answer:
We have nothing that is forbidden, and we have worship with it therein. We ask Allah to make it beneficial through the means, and there is nothing forbidden in it, yes. Allah is the One to be sought for help. Ha.
